          <p>ReservesDirect has an Archive of over 70,000 items that have been
            digitized since electronic reserves began in 1999. The bulk of the
            content you will find here is articles and book chapters in PDF format,
            but the Archive also contains a good deal of streaming audio as well
            as documents in a variety of formats. You may search the entire Archive
            for materials suitable for your class.</p>
          <h2><a name="performSearch"></a>Performing a Search</h2>
          <p>After clicking on &quot;Search for the Item&quot;, you are presented with
            a screen that allows you to perform a title/author search or to search
            by an instructor's name. The author/title search is a keyword search
            that will return materials that have your search terms anywhere in
            the author or title. Searching by instructor will return a complete
            list of all  classes that the instructor has taught and the
            items that were
            on
            reserve for each course.</p>
          <h2><a name="selectItems"></a>Selecting Items</h2>
          <p>You may select as many items as you wish from the search results
            by clicking the checkbox next to the item. Preview items by clicking
            on the &quot;Preview&quot; link. If your search returns more than
            20 results, navigate multiple pages of results by using the &quot;Next
            | Previous&quot;
            links. You may also sort your search results by author or title if
            you have performed an author/title search.</p>
          <h2><a name="availability"></a>Availability of Materials</h2>
          <p><strong>Digital items</strong> that you add to your class are immediately available
            for use by students, as long as the class is active for the current
            semester. <strong>Physical materials</strong> that you request by searching the archive
            generate a request that gets sent to Reserves staff for processing.
            Requests will show a status of &quot;In Process&quot; until the item
            has been retrieved by staff and successfully added to your class.
            Please allow time for staff to retrieve the item from the shelves
            and add it to your class. Some items may take longer to obtain if
            they must be recalled from another patron. If you have questions
            about the availability of an item, please contact Reserves staff
            at your library.</p>
